Daphne Oram's Oramics machine to go on display

Daphne Oram has long been regarded as an early electronic music pioneer, and now her most famous creation - the Oramics machine - is set to go on display at London's Science Museum.

This will form the centrepiece of Oramics to Electronica: Revealing Histories of Electronic Music - a small exhibition that explores how electronics have altered our sound world.

The machine is based on the 'drawn sound' concept and features ten strips of 35mm film moving across a flat surface. It was thought to be lost, but with the help of Goldsmith's College, has now been added to the Science Museum's collections.
